Week 4

[foundationmods]

It finally happened. Someone murdered, and was punished for it. After a particularly grueling trial, one much worse than the games ever were, everyone definitely needed the rest of the weekend to rest up. But now it is Monday once more, and that means it is time to get back to 'work'.

The cameras have moved again, and the contestants will need to be careful where they say what until their new locations have been revealed. In addition to that, the house itself seems to have changed, with its usual colorful appearance suddenly a bit more grey. Even the weather seems to be gloomy, with those storm clouds from last week starting to overcast the area, threatening to drop rain.

Seventeen contestants remain in this game of death. How many more will fall before the game is over? And how many more will be driven to murder?

[Since Silver is outside he will see it first, but the others won't be far behind.

The singing is coming from a line of prinnies, who are walking single-file to a big open spot in the clearing where the house and everything is located. It's basically the big area that had been used as a parking lot for all the supply trucks and such just before the game started. And as they reach the parking lot area, they file off into two groups: one group walks around the outside forming a big circle, while the other (much smaller) group goes to the center of that circle and forms a smaller one and start to dance around

It seems to be a ceremony of some sort? Maybe?]

[darkremnants]

[ ... where is Nora? ]

Anyone know what they are doing?

[oceanicbutterfly]

Some kind of elaborate dance?

[It's actually kind of interesting to watch...]

[houndumb]

[Great, just when he thought things couldn't get worse, it had to be Prinnies.]

Ugh, might as well get it out of them! Hey, what the hell're you up to.

[He goes to poke an outer circle Prinny, because of course he does. Also moves him here just because. Here's doge.]

[darkremnants]

[ there he is ]

[oceanicbutterfly]

Stop that.

[nora don't bully the prinnies]

[houndumb]

[LOOKS HER IN THE EYE AND PRODS HARDER]

[foundationmods]

Dood!

[It does get a prinny to stop, and it flails at Nora.]

Don't interrupt! It's the full moon!

[darkova]

Nora, listen to the song: 'born again tonight'? It's a ceremony of some sort. Let them be.

[resortghosts]

[ A different prinny in the outer circle jabs Nora in the ribs. ]

[houndumb]

Ow?? What the hell was that for—

[JABS THE PRINNY BACK AUTOMATICALLY]

[resortghosts]

[ It is unfazed! Time to jab Nora again. ]

[duskhound]

Hm... There certainly is a dance, but only the inner group seems to be dancing. There must be some sort of meaning to the outer circle as well...

[Sniff sniff, any difference she can tell between the outer and inner prinnies through smell?

...Without actually heading into the circle, I mean.]

[foundationmods]

[Ellie might not, no. But someone with the right powers might be able to.]

[eldritcheyes]

[Maybe not smell, but sight?

Leo opens the Eyes and focuses on the inner circle.]

[foundationmods]

[Leo will be able to see that the prinnies in the middle are made of souls. Human souls. And he will see that the prinny bodies are empty once the soul floats up into the sky.

Congrats Leo, you have seen how a prinny passes on to the next life!]

[darkremnants]

Maybe they worship the moon-

[ And at this time, someone is petting his Unversed so his face is going to go red. ]

[houndumb]

[SQUINTS LOUDLY]

Why.

[That's a general question, what are you doing.]

[darkremnants]

Shut up.

[ Reaching over to just... push him. go back to poking Prinnies ]

[oceanicbutterfly]

...is something the matter?

[You're looking a little flushed there...]

[darkremnants]

No. It's nothing.

FULL MOON END

[foundationmods]

[As the last of the reincarnating souls lifts up to the sky, the prinnies finish off the last verse of the song. The circle of prinnies stands there for a while, watching their brethren as they disappear into the bright light of the moon.

Then, all together, they start to waddle back to the studio. It's getting late, after all, and even prinnies need to rest.

But as the area clears out for the night, the contestants will be able to see a somewhat-familiar green-haired girl near the edge of the forest. It seems she had been watching the dance along with everyone else. She holds a finger up to her mouth, signaling for the contestants to stay quiet, and then she disappears into the woods.]

[duskhound]

[As the song ends, Ellie kind of falls on the ground. Okay, maybe singing along with a chant was still a bit too early for her when mixing Star Energy in. Still, she bows her head slightly towards the green-haired girl while she sits and recovers.]

[hatesdeerstalkers]

[Moriarty watches as the last of the souls fly off, quietly - he's still, though his hair clearly glints in the light of the moon.

When he speaks, it's solemn...but gentle.]

...May you find rest at the end of your final journey.

[...For a moment, there's...something almost wistful in his eyes, but then he turns around, the blue butterflies that he generates seeming to glow and dance in the light of the moon for a moment before dissolving away themselves.]

[houndumb]

[Oh. Hm. Nora's eyes narrow a little, because this is the first time he's seen this girl but of course he remembers the whole escapade that started this Prinny mess. It seems they've come full Prinny circle in some ways -- there's an itch to pursue because that's the way he is, all sudden impulses, but he stays for the moment surrounded by the Prinnies.]
